May those who seek You Lord in prayer
Be made aware that You are there
Although Lord Father God on high
You cannot be seen by mortal eye
You came to earth as Christ the Son
To be seen a while by everyone
Just to die upon Golgotha's height
And be transfigured from our sight
Yet You still remain.

Lord do not forsake us. Hear our plea
Our country has great need of Thee
Throughout the land so many shun
The savng message of Thy Son
Yet from the start this land was Yours
You sowed its seed from distant shores
You've guided it through every strife
And blessed its faith, its way of life
Now worldly souls from east to west
Live a godless life they feel is best
Lord in faith we ask of Thee this prayer
That beseeches Thee this country spare
We pledge to sin we shall not yield
Trusting through His scars and stripes
Our land be healed.

This recent thought occured to me
Each mortal's somewhat like a tree
Firmly rooted to the ground
And like a tree also earthbound
As trees must sprout,so must mankind
Their stages somewhat intertwined
For trees reach upward to the sky
As do mortal's souls sights fixed on high
And as if in prayer trees spread their limbs
Man spreads his arms in prayer and hymns
A healthy tree will bear much fruit
A Christian life will follow suit
Heaven's light will feed the tree
God's son's light on man does equally
His sustaining love protecting all
Who wish to grow and

The fallen one still tirelessly
Stalks us as victims of his war
determined to exact revenge
On the God he does abhor
He uses illness,pain and grief
Too painful to withstand
Then plants a thought within our minds
God's to blame..That's Satan's plan
Lest we forget, God's gift of love
To mankind was paradise
But Satan thought to get revenge
Tricking first man wth evil lies
For though cast down and angry
He with his fallen legions dwell
Yet amongst us for a while
Until vanquished into hell

Anyone know an easy quick driving route from Rose Hill Rt. 278 to the Savannah veterans' clinic at 325 West Montgomery Crossroad? I was there once and it was one confusing drive. The place is really difficult to find.

Lord, Thou art more worthy of all praise
This mortal one in prayer can raise
At times my wistful heart and soul
Seeks the truest words that can extol
Thy worthiness, Thy nobleness,
The glory of Thy holiness
The wonder of Thy.agelessness
The scope of Thy almightiness
But then a thought occurs to me
Am I searching for what cannot be?
This earthbound soul confined at birth
Might never find such words on earth
Do they exist - words known alone
By praising hosts before Thy throne
So only heaven's choirs can
Sing such pure true words unknown to man.

Who has risen?
I'm sure you know
Although it happened
Long ago
Let us not forget
The sacred act
That made life eternal
In truth, a fact

Think, while rejoicing
On Easter day
Of the painful price
One had to pay

But to rejoice is right
And rejoice we should
Without losing sight
Of that cross of wood

Reflect on the meaning
The 'Who and why?' of the day
When endless life's gift was given
In such a true loving way
He bore the world's sin
And for us died in pain
Forget not His great loss
As we rejoice in our gain

Computer was down since saturday.. Hargray just fixed it this morning. This is the verse prayer I had ready for Easter.Tev

A Promise Kept

The pharisees told Pilate lies
Provoked a mob to angry cries
Demanding Pilate to decree
That Barabbas should be set free
Accusing Jesus,scourged and tired
Of having against Rome conspired
Causing Pilate to decide
That Jesus should be crucified
And so He was.
In agonizing pain and weak
Upon the cross He was heard to speak
"They know not Father what they do",
And in a little while,saying "It is through."
And what was done? What did He do?

Those are the words the newsboys would call out when trying to push their three-cent papers back in the early thirties when I was a kid. If you are reading this now I guess the words still work to a degree. lol {Continued}

Yesterday I read that someone was complaining about the large number of unnecessary phone books being printed and distributed and that it was one useless practice contributing to the rapid demise of our forests. Good point I thought!
